Description Also known as 'moonflower', Datura is an essential ingredient in love potions and is known to induce visions and a trance-like state. Datura has aphrodisiac qualities and fittingly, its white flowers open at nighttime, glowing in the moonlight. Featuring ten flowers, we envisioned this fragrance to be a voluptuous super-floral tinged with a platinum luminosity, but a bit drunken due to the addition of dark rum. As it was used for Lunar worship, ours is an homage to Diana, goddess of the moon and hunt.
